Kelly Rowland Admits She Was Jealous of Beyoncé In Angry New Song


Who could blame her? Kelly Rowland admits some intense, relatable truths about working alongside Beyonce in Destiny's Child in her new song, "Dirty Laundry."



In the piano ballad track, Rowland, 32, sings about overcoming feelings of jealousy towards her BFF Beyonce, 31, for her tremendous solo success following the girl group's split in 2006.

"When my sister was on stage/killing it like a motherf--ker/I was in rage/feeling it like a motherf--ker," she sings in the song, which premiered on her SoundCloud page. "Bird in a cafe/You'd never know what I was dealing with/Went our separate ways but I was happy she was killin' it/Bittersweet, she was up, I was down/No lie, I feel good for her but what do I do now?"

The lyrics continue, "I was going through some bulls---/Post-Survivor, she on fire/Who wanna hear my bulls---."
Making matters worse, Rowland also confesses in the song that she was in an abusive relationship at the same time she was dealing with her envy.

"Meanwhile this n--- putting his hand on me/Saying you don't know the half of this industry," she sings.

In a later part of the song, she adds, "I was battered/He hitting the window like it was me, until it shattered/He pulled me out and said, 'Don't nobody love you but me/Not your mama, not your daddy, and especially not Bey."

Although the song hints at a rough patch for Rowland and Beyonce today, today, the "Dilemma" singer is belting out a different tune.

Since reuniting with Beyonce and fellow Destiny's Child member Michelle Williams during the triumphant Super Bowl Halftime Show in February, the three women are closer than ever, she says.

In fact, on Wednesday, May 15, Rowland talked to Us Weekly about her pal, offering the "Love On Top" singer support following the news that she had to cancel her May 14 show in Belgium due to exhaustion and dehydration.

"When you're on stage, you definitely work hard," she explained Us. "Sometimes you forget how much it takes out of you and you think you can keep going. I think it's important to pace yourself. And she works so hard to put on a great show."

"Dirty Laundry" is off Rowland's upcoming album, Talk a Good Game, which hits stores June 18.

Lol

Wow.it truly must hav bin difficult,watching someone u started with (and who was apparently more promoted than u were) rise to unimaginable heights of glory and fame.
Thank God she got over d feelings of resentment sha. Don't worry kelly;not being as big a star as beyonce doesn't make u an under-achieved artiste (cos,let's face it,who really is as big a star as beyonce?)

I prefer kelly, and o! She's hotter than the rest of the crew.

I've met her in person. She's more pretty than Beyonce.

Whatever she went through is just normal. those feelings of "why couldn't it be me"
Glad they both can get past it. Kelly is a remarkable artiste as well.

what happened to "prettier"?

ogugua88:

[size=13pt]Right? I read the story earlier and was feeling for her somehow. They split and then Beyoncé released her debut album, which is still her best selling and most successful album. Kelly experienced that "backup singer" shame. The lead singer took off and people tend to forget that she was 1/3 (and 1/4) of a group of other very talented women. And her being abused didn't make things any easier. I'm glad she got over it too. She's too beautiful and strong to be bogged down by such for too long.[/size]

Lol@ "back-up singer shame"...I must confess,I didn't really care too much for kelly wen she went solo,but recently,she's really grown into a strong,confident singer/performer (even if she's blatantly taking d "sex sells route"-but then again,who isn't?).d sex-appeal is working for her;at least I know that's PART of what's drawing my attention to her.

I don't think she can compete with Beyonce talent wise. Hence her jealousy.

True,she can't compete with beyonce,talent-wise(but,really,who can?),however,she's holding her own right now in d industry.plus,I don't think "jealousy" is d right word.she must hav had feelings of resentment,which is only natural,and her self-esteem must hav suffered wen her "mate" achieved near-goddess status,while she was being described as mediocre,at best.

How much did she give you when you met her?

She should've kept that to herself; the whole world doesn't need to know that. She's just trying to stay relevant. Controversy sells.
